Cutting and pasting (CUT_OBJECT)

 

Process of cutting and pasting (transferring) an object is a process of several steps:

-          Selecting the object,

-          Moving the object to clipboard (objects are deleted from your project then)

 

-          Pasting the object from clipboard to the insertion point we determine.

Therefore, after you select the object to be move transferred (cutted and pasted) as the first step,

second step is to move the object to clipboard on one of the following ways:

A.     Click on the icon    in the File toolbar

or

B.     Choose the menu option    Edit -> Cut

           

            or

C.     Type command CUT in the command line and press <Enter>

     >> Notice that the project is deleted from your project in this stage (if you record the project you will lose the object's data in an output file).

PASTE

as the third step you will paste the object from clipboard in one of the following ways:

A.     Click on the icon    in the File toolbar

      or

B.     Choose the menu option    Edit -> Paste

             

            or

C.     Type command PASTE in the command line and press <Enter>

then click on the place where you want to paste (insert) the object from clipboard or enter the coordinates of the insertion (pasting) point.

 

If you manually enter coordinates of the insertion point, you have to take care that the object will not be inserted if coordinates are not entered in correct format like (1.0,2.5).

 

>> Notice that you can call PASTE command (insert/paste the object)  several times, until you perform another Cut or Copy command.

 

>> Notice that the command Cut can work like erasing the object if the object is never pasted from the clipboard.
